The year kicked off with a bang thanks to the massive success of M. Night Shyamalan's Split. Amidst a few duds like A Cure for Wellness, Get Out looks like it is the next stand out horror movie.

From the mind of Jordan Peele — yes, Jordan Peele of Comedy Central's Key and Peele — Get Out is one of February's most interesting-looking films. The movie is getting rave reviews and as of this writing sits at 100% on Rotten Tomatoes.

Written and directed by Peele, the film boasts an all-star cast featuring Allison Williams and Daniel Kaluuya, who play the film's couple Rose and Chris, respectively. They're ready to meet each other's parents, so Chris takes a trip with Rose to a weekend getaway at her parents' place.

The trip begins as an attempt to examine and understand their daughter's interracial relationship, but things quickly take a turn. As the weekend progresses, things become more and more disturbing for Chris.

The reviews are overwhelmingly positive for Peele's first major directing gig. Peele co-wrote last year's hit comedy Keanu that earned solid reviews, but critics are loving his twisted horror film even more.

Get Out is earning praise for Peele's sharp direction and script, and he's garnering comparisons to horror icon John Carpenter.

A horror film with the power to put a rascally grin on the face of that great genre subverter John Carpenter ('They Live'), 'Get Out' has more fun playing with half-buried racial tensions than with scaring us to death.

Blending race-savvy satire with horror to especially potent effect, this bombshell social critique from first-time director Jordan Peele proves positively fearless — which is not at all the same thing as scareless.
